Recent statistics
have indicated that nearly nine million American children are categorized as
“overweight”. Buying or making clothes for the plus size child can be
a very stressful and difficult process as there is literally NO standard size
that fits properly.

Once you FINALLY
get a blouse or dress to fit right and looks good, you certainly don’t want to
make EVERY blouse/top or dress the same.

Now through the end of August, we’re having a special 25% discount
on our NEW Pattern Makeover Classes for Plus Size/Overweight Girls – normally
$9.95 each – now $7.46 each!

How To Make 8 Necklines from ONE plus size/overweight girls’ basic
blouse or dress pattern. The pattern changing Neckline class gives step by step
instructions and diagrams on how to take that one basic “round neck” dress or
blouse pattern and change that basic neckline into 8 different necklines.
The Plus Size Girls’ Pattern Changing Neckline Class comes in two size
ranges: 8-10-12, and 14-16.

How To Make 9 Collars from ONE plus size/overweight girls’ basic
blouse or dress pattern. We have given step-by-step instructions to make
nine different collar styles from any basic “round neck” pattern. Learn how to
change the collar style on patterns you already own – v-neck with collar
styles, small or large collars with rounded or pointed tips, 2 different roll
collar styles, collar with square front neck, or a “bow/collar”
combination. The Plus Size Girls’ Pattern Changing Collar Class comes in
two size ranges: 8-10-12, and 14-16.

How To Make 10 Sleeve Styles from ONE plus
size/overweight girls’ basic blouse or dress short sleeve pattern.

styles from any basic short sleeve pattern you already have. Learn how to
change the sleeve style to: basic short sleeve with gathers at the
shoulder, bell sleeve, gathered bell sleeve, short “puff” sleeve, full gathered
“puff” sleeve, scallop trim sleeve, long slim sleeve with gathers at the
shoulder, long sleeve gathered at the shoulder and wrist, long sleeve gathered
at the wrist, and raglan sleeves. The Plus Size Girls’ Pattern
Changing Sleeve Class comes in two size ranges: 8-10-12, and 14-16.

You will never have two blouse/top or dresses the same again —-
AND only use the ONE pattern that you know fits your plus size/overweight girl
well! Save a ton of money by changing up patterns you already own instead
of trying to buy and alter more patterns! It doesn’t matter if the
pattern is a McCalls, Simplicity, Vogue or any other pattern – as long as you
know you’ve finally gotten it to fit her the way you want it to fit.

Why use Shape-A-Dart? Misses size patterns are made with a standard “B” cup and half sizes are made with a standard “C” cup. If you use a Misses size pattern and wear an “A”, “C” or “D” cup bra, your bodice will be baggy (A cup) or tight with wrinkles (C or D cup). The same thing applies to half sizes that wear an “A”, “B” or “D” cup bra. The Shape-A-Dart has PRE-MEASURED dart widths to correct darts on all commercial patterns, beginning with size 6 and going through 24 1/2, and includes sizes 38 to 46. Simply find your pattern size and PERSONAL bra cup size on the Shape-A-Dart and make the correction. Every pattern will give you “a fit that flatters”! Check out the Shape-A-Dart today and get the fit that will flatter your figure!

We can do much to downplay any figure “faults” we may have and to make our figures appear different than they really are. The familiar example always used to show this is the following set of lines — which really are identical in length, but look much different.

The colors we wear and the types of clothing we wear can add pounds to our figures, take away pounds, make us seem taller or shorter than we really are. Examples of these are:

** Bright reds and oranges seem to add pounds, while subtle shades and textures make us appear smaller in size.

** Plaid shirts that are cut on the bias make us appear slimmer, because the plaids don’t encircle the figure.

** Keep the waistband loose on slim cut skirts to hide a tummy. (Try cinching in the waist in the back and see what happens to the front!)

** To conceal large hips, keep the skirt color darker than the blouse, and add shoulder pads to balance the figure.

** Vertical rows of buttons make us appear taller.

** Light colors and/or ruffles make a small bust appear larger.

** Wearing the same color shoes as your skirt will make you appear taller.
